Answer : The resistance in the circuit is
20\ \Omega

Explanation :

The given data shows the resistance and the current flowing in the circuit.

Voltage, V = 6 V

Current flowing, I = 0.3 A

The ohms law gives the relationship between the current flowing, the voltage and the resistance in the circuit.

Mathematically, it is written as :


V=IR


R=(V)/(I)


R=(6\ V)/(0.3\ A)


R=20\ \Omega

So, the correct option is (D).

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer;

= 20 ohms

Explanation;

  • According to the Ohm's law, the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference if other environment conditions are kept constant.

Therefore; I α V

Hence; V = IR, where R is the constant, called the resistance

Therefore; R = V/I

R = 6.0 /0.3

= 20 Ohms
